Equipment
RHD. Grey painted wire wheels, full-width low Plexiglas windscreen with aeroscreens.
Condition
The first C-type delivered to the US where California dealer Charles Hornburg put it in the hands of a young Jaguar mechanic and driver recently returned from a factory orientation, Phil Hill. Hill won first time out in the Sheldon Cup at Elkhart Lake. Later owned and raced by Carlyle Blackwell, Jr. Restored by Terry Larson in the mid 1980s to JC winning standards. Excellent paint and upholstery. Original engine with a later D-type head, original C-type head included. Better than new. Comes with its original seats and tool roll.
Market commentary
RM's top sale of the week, and it is a deserving champion.
